New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): As the monsoon season begins, BSES, in Tuesday, has announced its preparedness to ensure the safety and reliability of Delhi’s power supply.
BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) have implemented an integrated and proactive approach to handle the challenges posed by the monsoon. The plan includes extensive preventive maintenance and measures to minimize moisture-related breakdowns in the grids and panels.
BSES has taken several steps to reduce the impact of monsoon-related issues. These include raising the height of transformer bases in low-lying areas to prevent water logging, securing proper fencing around transformers, and deploying Quick Response Teams (QRTs) to tackle emergencies. Additionally, a war room has been established to monitor complaints and ensure their quick resolution.
Consumers are urged to follow safety guidelines to avoid electricity-related mishaps. These precautions include staying away from electrical installations like poles, sub-stations, transformers, and streetlights, advising children not to play near electrical installations, and getting the entire wiring in their premises checked by a licensed electrical contractor. It is also recommended to install an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) and keep a “Tester” at home to check for electricity leakage.
Power theft, especially by hooking into the electricity system, poses a serious safety hazard during the monsoon. BSES appeals to citizens to report any instances of power theft and to discourage illegal connections.
Unplanned digging for road repair or cable laying can also cause power outages and safety risks. BSES requests residents to inform them of any such activities to prevent disruptions.
In case of power disruptions or emergencies, consumers can contact BSES through multiple channels. For South and West Delhi, the contact number is 19123 or 011 49516707, and for East and Central Delhi, the number is 19122 or 011 41999808. Additionally, consumers can reach out via WhatsApp by sending a message to 8800919123 for BRPL or 8745999808 for BYPL, or use the respective mobile apps, BRPL Power App and BYPL Connect.
By adhering to these guidelines and cooperating with BSES, Delhi residents can ensure a safe and incident-free monsoon season. (ANI)
